I’ve been wanting to do this for a long time, bringing back Carousels. Remember Carousels?! They were just posts where a blogger shared everything they’d read on other blogs that week—or a selection of their favorites if they were particularly voracious readers.

I wanted to introduce this year a best of Blogtober weekly round up: all my favorite posts from some of my favorite bloggers. I’ll also be tagging them all on Twitter and in my Instagram stories. I’ve also started a Pinterest board for all of my Best of Blogtober bloggers!

Without further ado, here are my favorite Blogtober posts from the first week! (This week, I’m keeping it simple and not adding much of my own filler to this list!)

I'm Michelle, a writer & blogger living in Eugene, Oregon with my teacher husband Danny & our son Forrest. I am passionate about remaining creative, no matter where you are in life: a new graduate, a young professional, or a new mom! I love writing, Instagram, podcasts, & drinking coffee.
